The energy security of AI data centers is facing a "long-term shortage" dilemma. The industry is encountering a delicate situation: turbine suppliers' delivery cycles have been extended to 2028 and beyond, while demand-side forecasts for load growth still carry significant uncertainty. More challenging is that the specific site selection for data centers has not been clarified within three years, and construction costs continue to rise. This combination of multiple variables presents substantial risks to investors. On one hand, companies find it difficult to lock in a definite delivery schedule; on the other hand, the cost pressures during the early planning stage conflict with the uncertainty of long-term returns. Bottlenecks in energy infrastructure are becoming a key factor restricting the expansion of AI infrastructure, warranting close attention from all parties in the industry chain.

wait so they're basically stuck in mempool limbo waiting for confirmation? 2028+ delivery windows is wild... that's like watching gas prices spike during network congestion except it's actual physical infrastructure lmao. the real frontrun here is whoever locked in their turbine orders before this supply crunch got spicy

Delivery only in 2028? It's time for the AI infrastructure dream to wake up.

The turbine has to wait until 2028? That's so outrageous... It seems like the AI power dream will have to wait a long time.

Delivery only in 2028? That's such a long wait; it feels like the AI infrastructure thing is a bit uncertain.

The turbine won't be ready until 2028? Haha, this is the current AI gold rush... Money has been poured in, but the infrastructure isn't in place yet, a classic case of putting the cart before the horse. The energy bottleneck is truly a nightmare for the entire industry chain.

Haha, laughing to death. Out of stock and delayed again. This routine is so familiar. 2028? By then, AI will probably be cooled down.

Delivery not until 2028? Now the AI chip shortage has turned into an energy crisis, hilarious
